Kiwi Rider March 2024 Vol.2 | Page 57

BRAKING For many years now KTM has had class leading brakes . I think other brands have recently closed the gap , and in some circumstances have surpassed KTM . The smaller rear 220mm disc can feel a little soft on power in high traction areas , however this is a plus in very slick terrain offering greater feel and progression . The 260mm single front disc is still top shelf in both power and feel .
THE SKINNY As a pukka 350 four-stroke enduro machine this KTM has the goods . Light-feeling handling , plush suspension with decent progression and an excellent power delivery . All these things add up to a highly competent machine that is fast and capable and yet highly forgiving for the rider – ideal . On top of that , it is one of the most generally pleasant machines to ride , period . Young or old will enjoy this bike whether racing or trail riding .
